First sentence: Origami creations are usually made from one piece of square paper but unit origami is differrent.
Description: All the boxes are made up of individual units. Folding the units is simple and easy, and joining them has some of the fascination of a puzzle. It is interesting to see the same units turn into a variety of boxes by changing the combination. Intended for an inexperienced beginner, the step-by-step drawings are clear and easy to follow. They show exactly how to make each fold and crease to create the handsome boxes. Ranging from basic triangle and square boxes to the more demanding hexagonal, heptagonal, and octagonal, the delightful and varied works are highly stimulating. Most of the boxes may be utilized as actual containers and decorations.
Notes: Includes illustrations (some color).
